Zeitgeist Addendum

Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitous based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

This is one of my favorite documentary, I always tell all of my friends to watch this Documentary. It really gives you a good insight of how money is corrupting our lives and how money really leads to all evil. I really hope one day like in the documentary we can get rid of money and all live equal. I don't think it will ever happen though on this planet maybe on Mars or something.

Communism is a political system managed by a form of ideology, which does not necessarily relate to human or environmental needs. Communism uses money, banks, armies, police, prisons, charismatic personalities, social stratification, and is managed by appointed leaders and uses indoctrination. The Venus Project's aim is to surpass the need for the use of money. Police, prisons, banking, advertising, stockbrokers, military, and government would no longer be necessary when goods, services, healthcare, and education are available to all people. The Venus Project would replace politicians with a cybernated society in which all of the physical entities would as quickly as possible be managed and operated by computerized systems. The only region that the computers do not operate or manage is the surveillance of human beings. This would be completely unnecessary and considered socially offensive. A society that uses technology without human concern has no basis of survival. Communism has no blueprint or methodology to carry out their ideals and along with capitalism, fascism, and socialism will ultimately go down in history as failed social experiments. One of Communism’s concerns is the condition of labor and the working class. The Venus Project’s major concerns are producing products with limited labor and eventually eliminating labor and at the same time giving people all the amenities of a prosperous, high energy society. It is not our aim to produce a society that does nothing but enjoy leisure time. Instead people will be introduced to limitless opportunities to explore, create, participate, and learn.

"(...)for as long as there is any Human Life form on Earth, there will always be someone, who wants more, rather it be Power, Money, Prestige"

When resources are available to everyone without a price tag and not rationed, human values undergo considerable change. Most of us have been indoctrinated in civilization immersed in scarcity – artificially generated with planned obsolescence. I am highly suspicious of those whose incentive is motivated by money. I also believe in the incentive system but not the shallow, self-centered incentives perpetuated by our monetary-based institutions.

There would be no need for any high stressed jobs; there could be a large enough rotation of personnel to practically eliminate any high stress jobs until they can be phased out by innovative technology.

"there will never be Humans NOT working and machines taking over, somebody has to build the machines and maintain them, install them, wire them up, unpack them, ship them for delivery which takes transport workers, to do the work, somebody will have to order the machines and the particular model number. If a machine broke down who’s going to fix &amp; repair it, order the parts and pick them up to put them on ?"

The best way to solve this is through technology.
Nowadays there is a technology called "Self Healing Circuits", by means of nano-technology, machines can repair themselves.
We already witnessed how machines can build machines
(car assembly lines).
As far as transport, in a Resource based economy there are no limits on energy usage, since its available in an unlimited fashion.
So, by means of Intelligent Freight Transportation (best example, the Amsterdam Port, an almost complete automated port), you could move resources from production areas to destination.

"I see this Fantasy Scenerio, as coming right back to eventually where we are now over time, it won’t be able to sustain itself, because of People- Human Beings who have to have what they don’t really need to just be happy and survive, they’ll always devise more creative ways to justify wanting just a little bit more in some fashion or another, so they can be ahead of the other person."

Nobody has to have what they dont really need ... UNLESS THEY ARE BEING BRAINWASHED SINCE CHILDHOOD BY GREEDY CORPORATIONS.
Our greed is a product of the profit-driven environment.
A limited money supply is what drives competition, greed, envy, etc in our behaviour.
Nobody would need to steal something everyone has already ... you see what I mean?
Through abundance and education, we will get rid
of all the uncivilized behaviors WE, the current generation, are used to.

Thanks Torin Wolf. You have seen the truth in the Zeitgeist Addendum. Let me add further speculation. Speculation guided by sixty years of experience and awakened thinking.

This is simply a magnificently clever deflection away from the complete exposure of and effective resistance to the final goals of the royal elitist~ruling class and their passionate heart's desire of which they are incessantly chattering, the grand 'New World Order'. The solution offered by Zeitgeist is a dressed up, Mr Cool version of socialism. Whats wrong with that old man... one may ask. Socialism is by it's very substance the enemy of human rights and dignity.Individual liberty must be subordinated to the "collective" through conformity and that conformity is possible through either brainwashing or through force... coercion and ultimately violence and death to the non-compliant. Socialism places control of your life's choices and the information you can receive and exchange into the hands of you 'superiors' inn the State. This is raw unimaginable POWER in the hands of your masters. Power is corrupting... has anyone experiences a arrogant bureaucrat in some government office or a macho policeman? Imagine the magnitude of power these New World Order people are going to have; now imagine the magnitude of potential corruption and abuse which must follow.

Put it another way.... if you hate the corporate criminals, those arrogant wealthy bastards who have wreaked such horror on humanity in their greed for money and power... then Baby, your going to really hate the coming socialists world order; because the people in power now are going to be in a position of unassailable, unquestionable unlimited-power in that "Utopia". As far as I can see this Zeitgeist phenom is their work and a might clever infiltration it is.

Fight it... find the Real fight against the NWO and their legion of "believers"... fight as if your life and the lives of every one you love is in the balance, because they are.... believe they are just people; clever, rotten, mad with power people, but people not gods, not supermen.

Rightio swarm nr, should anyone see you with a necklace of ears like Dolph Lundgren from universal soldier, I recommend you put on your adidas and run in the opposite direction because Jean-Claude Van Damme will settle your minuscule mindset. THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN, VISION THE HIGHEST OF, otherwise, shut it moron.

i have hopes and plans to survive the coming apocalyptic events coming. after the virus has mutated. and all vaccinate´s victims will be diseased and no longer a good gene build for future generations. after the polarshift, and the final wars, i will miss the internet, when electronics burn out in magnetic shift. and push us back digitaly.
but i think metal will still be able to bend and melt from fire and heat.
and seeds and harvests will come up eventually. somewhere. somehow. sometime.
yes, im prepared to eat you.
in future i will shave less frequently.
and i will have a necklace of ears.
good luck ! see you on the countryside.

This is a very well made and important documentary. The evils in the current society are plane and many of the solutions presented makes sense. However there are some things that are troublesome such as the abolitionism of religion. I am personally not religious but many people are and in a way I think that at this stage of human evolution many humans still need religion as a comfort and a means of personal expression.
The movie says that the idea of human nature is false but I beg to differ. If you look at the natural order in nature there is always self interest and the need of survival at the center of every creatures existence. This is usually at the expense of another entity. Perhaps one day we can overcome this as a species when our brain is more fully used but as it stands today a Utopian vision is just that, a vision. I agree the monetary system needs to go and massive changes must be made in society with technology and equal rights for all at the center but there is no current solution that is a fix all end all.

Even one of the key people interviewed said the system would not be perfect, just better than what we have now.
